I put a coat of Rubio on it last night. Do you think a second coat would be beneficial? Or would it be wasting my time?

Yea after seeing everyone’s responses and watching some videos, I think my best bet will be to rip them, joint and flatten them and glue them back together. I’ll probably just do that.

I know...

I’m about to finish this live edge slab which is pin oak, and it’s going to be used as a bar top in my basement. Not going to get crazy use, mainly on sundays for football. Wanted to see what...

I’m located in southern NJ along the coast. I know of one guy about a little over an hour from me that has a big planer and very large sander, but he said it’ll be a couple hundred bucks probably for...

I appreciate the help with resolutions but I’d really rather not rip it down to flatten it. This is going to be the middle piece of the top so I’m going to take a decent amount off the edges to begin...

I’m not sure exactly when they started cupping, but I noticed it about 4-5 months ago. I know when I bought the slabs they were flat. They were dried horizontally on sticks. Then I took them home and...

Understood, I don’t know if I want to rip it in half and then flatten them. If I have to I will though. Once I have them flattened, I’m going to polyurethane the top and bottom to try and minimize...

I’m building a table with live edge slabs. It’s going to be 3 slabs wide. They’re white oak about 16” wide each and I cut them down to 6’ long. I had them standing up in my garage for quite about 8...

Yes the base is painted, but it’s distressed. Metal Would t be able to be distressed like the wood is.

That’s what I was thinking. Some sort of angled braces, but again, she wants the look to stay the same but doesn’t want metal legs.

This table I built is a little unstable. I knew it wouldn’t be rock solid since it’s built with 2x2’s, but it’s what the customer wanted. The legs are all joined with glue and 1 pocket hole screw. Is...

oh cool! I am in Manahawkin. The boards are 2 inches thick. I was going to originally make like a 6-7 ft table but these boards are so long, I will probably just cut them to that length and do a...

I live in NJ on the coast and the tree came from NJ. I was told it was cut down 7 years ago and milled 4 years ago. And since then has been air drying properly. Was contemplating...

just so you&rsquo;re aware and have all the facts, I&rsquo;m not cutting a tree down, slapping on some legs and calling it a table. I&rsquo;m actually going to work the wood properly. Taking all the...

What do you mean by that? I just see so many live edge tables out there and so many woodworkers selling them, they have to be doing something right. I think these slabs will be pretty good as far as...

i just checked the moisture and they&rsquo;re 15-16%. Thought it was lower. I was told the tree was cut down about 7 years ago and the log cut about 4 years ago. The boards are already pretty dead...

Hey guys, so I'm coming here for some advice or tips/tricks things I should know. I'm a pretty experienced wood worker, however I have never done anything live edge. I got some really nice pieces of...

I'm looking for a Festool Domino joiner, but they're so expensive brand new. As much as I'd love to buy a new one, I just don't have that much money for it. Does anyone know where or who I can get...

What if I also screwed them down like mentioned above? Also, if that way is no good, do you know of a better way?

Why do you say that?

I'm using 1x6's for the top and gluing them to 3/4" plywood.

I'm building a table top a little differently than I normally do. My normal method is biscuits and glue, but with a herring bone design, that doesn't really work (or is not that easy to do). The...

I'm building a table top out of 8/4 cherry and the boards are 9' long. I don't have a table saw (even if it did, it'd be a bench top one and that probably wouldn't work too well), I have a 6" bench...

Can I get that epoxy and dye at Home Depot or lowes?
Yes the joints are glued with biscuits, but the actual problem is like chipped edges sonit looks like gaps. I can just use the epoxy there too,...

I have a table top made of 8/4 cherry. It's been stained in red mahogany and a semi gloss poly. This is for a customer of mine and I was sending them some pics and they noticed some knots/holes in...
